1. Our daughter is 5 months old and still up at least once a night to
eat. (Unfortunately we are no longer breastfeeding.) How does being up
and about feeding affect my temperature? Our midwife (who had
practiced NFP for many years) told us not having been still for 5
hours would create invalid temps so we haven't been taking them. But
it would obviously be nice to cross reference the mucus signs with
temps to be more certain of the phase changes.

2. How exactly do I know what my cervix feels like? I've stuck my
fingers in there and have no idea what's what.

3. I am curious how/why it is wrong, in the Catholic opinion, to bring
each other to climax with manual stimulation without him climaxing
inside of me every time. (Particularly because we are still dealing
with intense pain for me upon penetration that will take lots of time,
patience and manual stretching of my vaginal opening to work past. It
seems that our ability to love each other with no pain is such a
blessing and something we can look forward to as we take the steps to
make coitus itself something we look forward to instead.)

Thanks!
